@scope @greeneking I note you've not mentioned the petition by local people asking for the name to remain The Midget which has over 2000 signatures.

@scope Caniread this as I don't subscribe to The Daily Telegraph.

An article in today’s @Telegraph associates disability benefits with rioting on Britain’s streets.

We shouldn’t need to say this, but…

📢 People being too unwell to work is not to blame for recent violence.

[dphc@73 @dphc73]

@WheelerDax Well yes, I did notice the majority of rioters were either in wheelchairs or wearing calipers. Sorry, don't know if sarcasm works in tweets but The Telegraph will blame everything that goes wrong on disabled people.

[dphc@73 @dphc73]

@BBCAccessAll @bbcthree It goes both ways. I have a visible disability but I can walk. I've had women say to me that they'd never date me because they think I will end up in a wheelchair eating my food through a straw.

When it's 2024 and you remember there's no longer a dedicated minister for disabled people.

[dphc@73 @dphc73]

@scope I thought the government backed down and appointed Mims Davies as the new Minister.

Who’s watching the new series of @SexEducation then? 💦

We are, and we loved this scene in particular.

So let's talk about the social model of disability 🧵

[Scope @scope]

Disabled people should always be consulted before making changes that affect them 🤝

And we hope that Boots commits to doing this in the future.

What a frustrating and inaccessible way to announce a platform update 🤦‍♀️

This is how someone using a screen-reader experiences tweets like this.

Accessibility cannot continue to be an afterthought.

@scope I applied for around a hundred jobs when I moved to where I live. The job I have is the only one where I left the box blank.

@scope I've only been in the office twice since March last year & so used to working from home it's good to know my HR department can't force me to return. I know several disabled colleagues feel the same.

Hate crimes against disabled people have seen the largest increase for the second year, according to new figures.

Disability-aggravated charges increased by 14% to 448 in 2020-21 following a 29% increase in 2019-20.

A senior judge has ruled it is lawful for carers in specific circumstances to help clients find and pay for sex. The ruling found it would be wrong to stop them helping a 27-year-old man with mental disabilities fulfilling a natural desire: https://t.co/G0XnRBRYkR

@BDEFbites Just thought you should know. If you have epilepsy you are not allowed to take part.
